Were you aware that 64% of new AIDS cases are African American women? I Just heard it on the radio. Wow! This is very scary.

I'm now trying to get something from google that can verify this. If I find anything I will post it.

The-Screw,

Dude this is major problem that can't be taken lightly....AA women make up roughly 8% of the general population, but account for 64% of newly diagnosed HIV/AIDS cases. That is not an old news, it is travesty.

SXB maybe the rate is above the national level for Baltimore and Oakland, but I am shocked with the stats in general.

Sex isn't the only way that HIV is transmitted btw, but everyone focuses on that factor alone.

What you need to realize is that most Epidemologists are concerned more with the next Flu epidemic or Ebola (it could happen) or Hanta virus outbreak than say HIV/AIDS. The reasons being is because there are so many ways and so many medications available for this disease that they believe other potential unknown outbreaks should get more attention.
